The Northern Emancipation Network, while welcoming the action taken by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo on former DSS DG Lawal Daura, said same should be extended to co-conspirators in the shameful act.
A press release signed by the coordinator of the Group, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, said Bola Tinubu, Ahmed Lawal, Abu Ibrahim, Shehu Dani and Abdullahi Adamu must be interrogated to ascertain the extent of their involvement in embarrassing take over attempt of the National Assembly.
“While welcoming the prompt action by the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, we at the Northern Emancipation Network believed that Lawal Daura couldn’t have acted alone in such monumental national disgrace.
“To avoid making Daura a scapegoat in a lethal power play that is already putting the image of Nigeria to question in the eyes of the international community, other conspirators should also be booked.
“It should be recalled that Senator Abu Ibrahim had insisted openly that there would never be peace unless the subsisting leadership of the National Assembly is changed.
“In sane climes, such inflammatory unguarded utterances are not condoned, especially when they are followed by action.
“We commend the Nigerian public especially the press and the civil society for rising up promptly and standing firm to save the nation’s democracy.
“We call on the international community to intensify vigilance on Nigeria as the 2019 round of fresh elections draws near,” the statement read.
